let me say that i am a little burnt out on art. i am also a senior in college and all i have to do is put on a show that will be okayed by the department.

the tricky part is that the school that i go to is really heavily conceptual. the profs usually do things with a lot of explanation and and they really like a lot of things that i just find to be a confusing waste of time.
i am too tired to make art that just i want to make because if it was just me i wouldn't make anything and i know that i would fail miserably at trying to make things that they want.

so here are my ideas. tell me what you like best and why.

portraits of mao zedong - i am really interested in contemporary chinese culture

still life studies of milk jugs- i have no idea why but i tend to make really nice expressive still life painting/drawings

acylic transfers of me training for speedskating - this image got the best response two semesters ago

a speedskating conglomeration - i have an idea for a multimedia show that has speedsaters portrayed in ceramics and prints and painting.....

a mosaic show- i once made a really nice mosaic triptych and i wonder if i could make that work?

mosaic acrylic transfers- transfer images onto bisque tiles and then put them together kind of like a puzzle..... i kind of like the bisque ware idea the most.

i need help i am so incredibly stressed out over this show and having the hardest time making a decision. any suggestions are appreciated.

Creating Mosaics…?

 

I've decided that I need a hobby and since I've always loved mosaics, I've decided to learn that. I visited my local Home Depot, and they only had maybe 5 colors of tile (outside of the many browns/greys/whites, etc). Is there a store that sells simple ceramic tiles in more than 5 colors or do I have to run around to every store in town or buy online? help!
